Bird’s-eye over Lee River valley from top-class home
Just a couple of miles from the city boundary, the house is on a choice site of 2.5 acres, elevated, with a south-easterly aspect and river views: little wonder that the current owner has a telescope in pride of place at one of the first floor, floor-to-ceiling box-bay windows, for surveying the scene beneath.
This is the area where footballer Roy Keane came a-viewing three years ago when on the prowl for a quality family home, but subsequently shied away from. As a mark of the times, though, that multi-million euro home Keane was after was bought by a local mortgage broker.
